Abstract: We implement an iterative numerical method to solve polynomial equations $f(x)=0$ in the $p$-adic numbers, where $f(x)inmathbb{Z}_p[x]$. This method is a simplified $p$-adic analogue of Jarratt's method for finding roots of functions over the real numbers. We establish that our method has a higher order of convergence than J.F.T. Rabago's $p$-adic version of Olver's method from 2016. Moreover, we weaken the initial conditions in Rabago's method, which allows us to start the iteration with a multiple root of the congruence $$.
